Atarayo - Forgetting You, the Quiet One in October (Music Video)

Formed in 2019, the band released this song as their very first track, posting the music video in November 2020.

After the MV went public, it quickly drew attention and became popular, and in 2021 it was featured in a Spotify commercial.

The lyrics begin with the woman in a couple telling the man she’s breaking up with him, then go on to describe her lingering attachment to him.

Many people have probably experienced that kind of attachment you can’t cut off, even when you know staying together just won’t work.

The song also expresses the feeling of wishing you had never met in the first place if it was going to hurt this much—a sentiment many will painfully relate to.

It’s a highly relatable heartbreak song that may squeeze your heart as it overlaps with your own experiences.

Kanro Candy 70th Anniversary Movie: “I Want to Be Kind”

This song, sung by Moka Kamishiraishi under the name adieu, is a ballad whose lyrics depict experiences that almost everyone has gone through.

At the beginning of the lyrics, there’s a scene where the narrator sends a message to “you” who appeared in their dream after waking up.

Many of us have probably had the experience of suddenly remembering an old friend or lover and sending them a message, haven’t we? The song captures that moment and the wavering feelings inside with expressions that are intentionally subtle and open-ended.

Listening to it, you can’t help but feel a gentle warmth spreading in your heart.

It was featured in Kanro Candy’s 70th-anniversary commemorative movie, which aired in 2025.
